Build a Streak with your favorite players and compete to win $5.6 million

Beat the Streak Report: Wednesday, May 12

It was quite the uneventful Tuesday for our streakers, as five of our top seven selections (Miguel Cabrera, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter) each saw their games postponed due to rain, pushing the pause button on about 22 percent of streakers combined.

It looks like Gartshore, a native of Asbestos, Quebec, Canada, will be putting my Canadian aptitude to the test here, and frankly, I’m riveted.

So on that note, with a 35-game streak, Gartshore is officially 61.7 percent on his way to earning a lifetime supply of Tim Horton’s Timbits. I went to summer camp in Ontario for 10 years. Gartshore, you’ve been warned.

Definitely good luck Cruz.. but you have to think.. its still 21 games away! I’ve been playing for 7 years and had maybe a handful of 21 game streaks.. just have fun and dont overthink your picks… you still have a 0.0032 % chance to win and thats based on having a 75% chance of getting a hit that given day!

cruj – Welcome to the blog – A tip of my Cub to you on your streak. Please Post your daily pick with comment.
I’m, sticking with MCutchen of Pirates today as Homer Baily of Reds is hittable. In honor of Homer Bailey’s name, I’m also taking McCutchen in HR BTS and what the heck, for the first time ever I’m going with Pirates in Survivor. I’m a little scared of Ichirio who is batting .239 in day games. This follows a night game last night for him.
Happy hunting to all today!

Morning gents. Cruj, nice to see another Alberta boy on the leader board. I was up there till 17, anyways best of luck to all. I’m trying to restart again, got rained out in both bts and survivor last night. Going R. Weeks (had Braun but he not playing till weekend looks like) and LAD.

im very surprised that 5 of the top 15 most selected players were in doubleheaders today and so far 2 of those players have gone hitless in the first game so those who picked jeter and rodriguez are already finished. i dont know what goes through the heads of the people who play this game

abk1087 – My streaks are all at zero!
McCutchen of Pirates had an O-fer – Strike One
McCutchen naturally did not HR – Strike Two
Pirates lost to Reds 5 – 0 – Strike Three – dragbunt is out!
I should be “riding the pine!”
But just as hope springs eternal each spring for Cub fans, I’ll be back tomorrow. Being a Cub fan you have to be able to roll with the punches.
My sage advice is stay away from whoever I pick for the next few days. lol

I guess everyone will be riding the Ichiro tomorrow. I am planning to find another hitter though. Millwood shut Suzuki down last time they met in Seattle. He also did the same thing I think once last year too. I just hope Cruj picks Ichiro for third day and get burned. Its about time. He had so many last at bat saviors come through for him.

What a luck for Philly pickers. I bet many of them still wouldn’t know how lucky they were because they will be advancing tomorrow. Some might be even befuddled that they moved up one spot.

Also, Ichirio batting .239 in day games and game time is 12:35 eastern.
Michael Young TX is hot.
Odd – Odds? darwi’s post
This is one for Professor Pete
For Example: Say the chance of picking a player to get is hit is 75% each day. Well each day is a brand new chance of getting a hit at 75%. What happened the previous day does not factor in to the new day. Professor Pete what is this theory called?
hasta manana all!

The odds of winning 3 million dollars is just under 1 in a million if your picking a player who will get a hit every 4/5 days in the season. The thing is, PICKING A PLAYER WHO WILL GET A HIT 80% OF THE TIME.. that alone is hard enough. This game does have better odds than playing the lottery though! My streak is up to 10 after Ichiro’s hit last night! I would totally go with Ichiro again today if i had a chance to hit a computer before 1230.. don’t think I will. Guess I will find out tonight at 9 who i have lol
